IMPORTANT: Always refer to the PCI card's manufacturer for the specific PCI card performance specifications. PCI, PCI-X mode 1, and PCI-X mode 2 cards are supported at different clock speeds. Select the appropriate PCI-X I/O slot for best performance.

PCIe Backplane
The 16–slot (8 PCI and PCI-X; 8 PCI-Express) mixed PCI-X/PCI-Express (“PCIe”) I/O backplane
was introduced for the Dual-Core Intel

processor 9100 Series release and is heavily
leveraged from the PCI-X backplane design. Only the differences will be descibed here. See

for common content between the two boards..
The PCI-Express I/O backplane comprises two logically independent I/O circuits (partitions) on
one physical board.
The I/O chip in cell location zero (0) and its associated four PCI-X ASICs, four PCIe ASICs,
and their respective PCI/PCI-X/PCIe slots form PCI-Express I/O partition 0 plus core I/O.
